Painting Party at The Joy House

By: Ali Metcalf, Director of Communications

When I heard that Pickens county resident, Chris Rumble, was seeking a painting party pilot group to help launch his mobile painting party venture, I knew I had to convince him to come to The Joy House. I was introduced to Chris a couple of years ago by a mutual friend at Six Flags where he was performing as "Uncle Chris" in the "Uncle Chris Christmas Show." I have admired his work often while visiting a local school where his beautiful mural welcomed you as soon as you entered the hallway. He is an uber-talented individual and I knew it would be an amazing experience for our residents to see his talent in action. Thankfully, Chris agreed to come share his talent without hesitation. Our painting party was held on Monday afternoon, July 23rd, and boy, did we have fun!

Counselor's Corner - A Marriage Covenant

By: Bill Wattenbarger, Counselor

Biblical marriage is too often misunderstood.

Here are some things about marriage which GOD DID NOT SAY:

  1. Being in love is the foundation of marriage.
  2. Marriage is the most important relationship in life.
  3. Husbands and wives are to serve one another by fulfilling their needs.
  4. Selfish desires qualify as needs.
  5. One spouse’s unhappiness is the responsibility of the other spouse.
  6. In marriage, one’s spouse becomes an extension of one’s self.
  7. Husbands and wives relinquish their individuality and become possessions one of the other.
  8. In marriage, men are superior over women. Men are created to rule.
  9. In marriage, women are inferior to men. Women are created to submit.
  10. Each spouse is to keep score of the other’s performance and then hold them accountable.
  11. Personal godliness does not apply to marriage.
